When Rivers Were Trails

February 20, 2019

When Rivers Were Trails is a point-and-click adventure game about the impact of colonization on Indigenous communities in the 1890s. An Anishinaabeg in the 1890s is displaced from their traditional territory in Minnesota and heads west to California due to the impact of allotment acts on Indigenous communities, facing Indian Agents, meeting people from different nations, and hunting, fishing, and canoeing along the way as they balance their wellbeing.
